What our customer's say!

"Good but not as good as the book", This workbook is helpful and helps generate creative teaching ideas. However, I didn't find it as helpful as the actual history book itself. Good for people who needs ideas on how to make history fun and fresh for little kids.


"Great!", I am a home school mom of elementary aged children and this book is great. I do suggest you get the book that goes with it or you will be a little lost. This set together has been a wonderful asset to our school experience. It is an easy approach to teaching more than one age. Everyone is enjoying it - even me! There are maps that go along with each lesson which really give the kids a picture of where things took place, fun coloring pages and some word puzzles. The projects that go with each lesson have also been helpful. I find that there is enough info to choose from that I can easily pick what will work for us that lesson and leave out what won't and things still come together well. The kids are picking up tons of information and even more importantly, this book paints the big picture of ancient times and my kids are loving it!



"A must-have companion", This is a must-have for going through the Story of the World series. My favorite part is the "continued reading" recommendations. I'd suggest not trying to do all the activities. We started out that way and it was taking forever.

I do have her do the map exercises for every chapter and try to read at least one of the recommended books (often a fairy tale/myth/legend picture book about that time/culture). When she's very interested in a chapter, we'll spend more time and do a project or two and read more of the books.

"Great Resource!!", This book series is the perfect balance between a scripted, rigid history program and a completely unstructured approach to teaching history. I use it in a homeschooling history coop group with 6 girls, age 5-8. We have a great time. I use the study questions, we fill out the map, and then we do a craft. We enjoyed forming the Nile river with dirt and rocks, building an "ancient home" structure in the back yard, and creating hieroglyphics in clay. I like a lot of the books she recommends as supplements. We use the coloring pictures to add to our timeline we are creating that encircles our homeschooling room.
The coloring pictures are simple, but I think thats better for boys who sometimes are not into detailed coloring. I purchased some extra coloring books for my daughter who loves to color.
Finally, I am a devoted Christian who appreciates the flexibilty to add biblical content as I see fit.

"Captivating", We have tried several hs history curricula and this is the first one that has captivated my children. I would highly recommend this!

"Do not waste your money", The text book is very well written, though it could use some good illustrations. However, this "activity book" is amateur and juvenile. With an creativity at all any teacher can come up instantly with far superior, and actually helpful.

"Homeschool History Made FUN!", I spent a lot of time reseraching History programs, and having been a homeschooler myself ... I knew what I did NOT want. I was homeschooled for religious reasons, but I homeschool my daughter for other reasons (namely poor school systems). This book, while availing itself to Christians by recognizing that Christianity had a large part in history... it does NOT exclude teaching that doesn't base itself in the Christian beliefs.

That being said... my second grader and I started in on this program with Volume 1 this year... and we're both in love. We're simply overwhelmed with the fun activities and ideas! We've been able to incorporate her grandparents into the fun activities.. and every day of school, history is the first subject she wants to do. It's so interactive and fun, she doesn't want to skip a thing, and each chapter, we end up using the reference resources listed, and finding our own. This program keeps a VERY distractable and active youngster interested in her studies, and still offers the structured support through the tests booklet (available separately) .. I'm learning as much as she is through the whole thing. This program by FAR exceeds expectations, and We plan to go through the whole series, even if each book may take us longer than a year to complete... we even plan to continue history lessons over summer vacation, because they're too much fun to stop!

I highly recommend this program.. it lends itself to virtually any learning style, and is hands-on and fun ... explores everything from arts and crafts to science, geography, writing... NOT just history!

"The Story of the World Activity Book Vol. 1", This is a great book to go along with The Story of the World Vol. 1. There are wonderful extra reading lists, ideas for activities, geography lessons and coloring activities and much more. My children ages 7 to 13 enjoy the activities.

"Useful Resource for Studying Ancient History", We're actually not using the main SOTW text as our "spine" because my daughter declared it was "boring" when I read her selections from our library's copy. However, she enjoys the book suggestions, crafts, and coloring pages from the Activity Book. The review questions are very helpful for ensuring we cover the key concepts from each unit.

The book *does* skimp on Biblical history so Christians will need to supplement with other materials in that area.

"A Fantastic Resource!", This activity book is loved by my 5 and 8 year old daughters. I love the suggested reading list for each chapter. The activities are fun and give us an opportunity to revisit the ideas and information we have read about in the text and to talk about them some more, which is great for consolidating what has been learned.
